How does the structure of a molecule determine its smell? How can the smell of mixtures of molecules be predicted? What is the shape and structure of the perceptual space in olfaction?
Counting SmellsThe lab maintains the NeuroML Database, which hosts and provides analysis and characterization of 1,500+ computational neuroscience models.
Visit the NeuroML DatabaseComputational models are quantitative hypothesis about the systems we study. How do we know what the evidence is for or against these hypotheses? How can we know which models can account for which experimental data? Can the testing process be formalized?
View Project on GitHubWe contribute to the development of NeuroML, a modular, declarative, and simulator-independent model description standard.
Learn more about NeuroMLWe are currently contributing to an effort to convert the Migliore et al. (2014) model of the olfactory bulb into NeuroML in support of a modular approach to community based modeling. Find out more at Open Source Brain.
